July 2015 Pictures

I was just cutting up some fruit quick for another day and someone kept sneaking some!... :)

Cheers! :)


Buddies!

Always fun to use the water shooters and get a little wet
 
This handsome fella doesn't come to daycare in the summertime, but luckily he stopped by to play and I happened to have his b-day treat ready! And our birthday's are just a day apart, so that's extra special! :)
Chalk is a favorite activity outside!

 
This series of pictures really captures this moment! This little lady has been afraid to eat cherries due to the pit in the center!!...I finally convinced her, through a series of baby steps, to try a cherry and she now has discovered her new-found love of cherries!
Some relief in this moment.... :)
SOO SO PROUD of her!! :)
And this kid is just crazy, who's kid is this one?! ;)
Attending the big water party at the North Logan Library!!!...Blow up slides, water guns, sprinklers, foam sword/weapons, etc... it was pretty awesome!

She cracks me up, silly girl!

Too cute to pick a favorite picture!...


These kids had some crazy fun with these weapons!






...Trying to be like the big boys, it didn't last long!
 


Making friends at the activity! 

A trip to the playground...

We fill up a playground fast, what a fun group I have!



GIRLS DAY!!!!!!
I think this is a first time for me and also for daycare...my boys were gone for the day and whatever other boys came on Fridays weren't here. It was just me and 3 little GIRLS!! I love my boys, but I was pretty excited to have a "GIRLS DAY"!! We had a fun time!!
We went to storytime at the library, had snacks and played at the playground!


It started raining for a moment (utah weather!), so luckily I had spare jackets in my car...this might be a tad big for her, but she makes it look good ;)



Some photo's of our beautiful girls!!!...






We did all our nails!!


A beautiful paint job to help my freaky looking toes look a little better, lol...
....And we baked bread too!
He learned from the older kids one good place to hold your weapons when they're not in use...




Storytime at the library
 
I took this picture because all 3 kids insisted on sitting on my lap and I was running out of lap room for all of them! :)
 
We learned about the significance of all the aspects of our flag, and also how to respect our flag/country and then we made our own flags















We had a HUGE water fight this day and it was SOO AWESOME! At one point there were probably 8 active participants against me, but I held my own pretty well! :)









We had a more quiet water area off to the side for those who didn't want to be in the water fight, which was also very fun
 

The kids teamwork was amazing...they some kids whose job was re-filling water shooters, kids actively trying to acquire more shooters, and those constantly firing at us!
 
Movie time with popcorn after the water fight was well deserved, they were pretty tired!

I try to pick out some of my better pictures, but sometimes I have too hard of a time deciding which to share. These two were so adorable playing with each other by this booster seat!
 

Awwwww...
 




Feeling the love! Aren't they adorable?!
 



So perfect!
 

We talked about plants/flowers....they painted their flower centers and a separate paper that we cut into strips for the petals and created our own flowers ...





This little one really adores these big girls and vise-versa!



She's mastered the adorable pouty face!
Oooh the day they got some of my birthday ice cream cake - a big hit!
 
This sorting activity was a piece of cake!
 
The size ordering got a little tricky though...
A little stumped...
Thinking...
Success!! (Love these pictures!)
 
Singing time!
 
 
Math activities...
 
 

Writing practice and letter-finding with the dobber(a favorite!)
 

The kids rotated between different activities, we had a dice game, lacing cards, and the caterpillar numbers...
I'd call out a number and they had to jump on the correct number
 









The kids put together their own band and put on a concert for us!

Such talented kids we have here!
 
Can't beat Christmas in July! ;)
(sorry, not the best upload quality and it didn't help that it was already a dark video!)
 

...they even made up their own cheer!
 
Someone suggested I take a picture of me with some of my kids, a foreign idea to me in the past, lol. So for the first time ever I took a picture of the group we had this day....they're all so adorable I had to post the 3 we took!


SILLY FACES!

I love the safety googles that stayed on for much of the day here ;)
 


We brought the CD player outside today and had a dance party outside!


I set up an awesome "Frisbee golf" game outside!
She got a little annoyed with me at one point though, lol
There's a smile!

And this little man LOVED it!...
 


I still can't get over that I took this picture WHILE she was swinging! Maybe there's hope for my photography skills after all, but it helps to have such a beauty for my model!

Mid-swing again! Handsome fella!
 
Always a favorite activity for my toddlers!
